Clay Aiken’s New Look: Oh Wow

Clay Aiken‘s got a brand new look — but just for a role, of course. Here he is as Joseph in Joseph And the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It’s definitely amazing.

He’ll be dreamcoating it up at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine. Don’t see this as a career dip for Aiken, as he’s psyched to be doing the show. As he told the Portland Press Herald(with a laugh),

I like this role because it doesn’t make me dance.

This is a show that I have known for years. I grew up as a teenager listening to this music. I remember listening to it on a CD Walkman, so there’s a little history for me with it.

Well shoot me, a CD Walkman player is history now? Fffffffffuuuuuuu. He’s right. My kids are going to look at CDs and be amazed that at one point you had a tangible thing to put your music on that you could hold in your hands. Just kidding, I’m not having kids.

In April, Aiken’s stalker was arrested, so there’s definitely going to be at least one person who won’t be able to make it. What a shame.
